We received this plea from Anthony Weiner‘s mother yesterday. She has solicited us as a trustworthy source to argue on her son’s behalf. Here is what she has written.

Our little boy Andy. Such a shame. I don’t know how many times I told him, if you’re going to show your genitals do it so that no one else can see! We used to play those games when we were little, go out on the farm and show each other the dinky-doo and ba-ji-ji, but Anthony, oy! He had to get all mixed up in this facebook and the twitter. I know about sexting. How the kids these days like to talk dirty on their phones and the internet. But this! This is a little crotch-photo! It’s harmless. A little flirtation never hurt anybody, nothing more than seeing our boy in his swimsuit at the beach. Honestly I don’t see what the big deal is.

I know it’s funny that Mort’s last name is Weiner so it looks like the hot dog spelling and Anthony’s hot dog profile is all over the internet. But the Weinergate is a bit much isn’t it? Nixon didn’t even have a sex life; at least our Anthony is getting schtupped!

Honestly, it’ll all blow over in a few weeks. Remember Clinton? That was meshuggeneh. I hope you all forget about this and remember how Anthony has served the district over the past years.

-Fran Weiner, Anthony’s loving mother.
